Abstract
By creating some new concepts and methods: checking tree, long unit path, direct contradiction unit pair, indirect contradiction unit pair, additional contradiction unit pair, 2-unit layer and 3-unit layer, redundant units, and destroying parallel pairs , we successfully transform solving a 3SAT problem to solving 2SAT problems in polynomial time. Thus we proved that NP=P.
